to whom it WILL concern

“The truth is of course that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time.”

—David Bowie 

the future is dumb.
the past is numb.
the present always.
the perfect timing. 

and then I remember.
my Thich Nhat Hanh.
that cutting onions.
is part of the meal. 

there is a place.
beyond ambition.
that Mary and I agree.
is peaceful.

where the insects trill.
so you will paint the sound.
and the porch light hums.
so you will write its colours.
